Does the exec command execute a string of with the hex equivalents of an
opcode, or a string with the actual byte opcodes?  I was trying to write an
asm program by typing in the opcodes in hex, but I ended up crashing the
calc.  The interesting part was that I had to remove all 5 batteries in
order to reset it.  When it was locked up, the homescreen was displayed
with a little trash.  The 2nd and diamond key toggled their indicators, but
nothing else worked...the calc wouldn't even turn off.

These experiences should give you a ton of respect for brave programmers
like Dan Eble and David Ellsworth.
